You will play a fundamental role in helping execute our strategy, designing and producing high-quality, honest and engaging content across a range of social media accounts, including:

• Using a variety of design and video editing tools, and the ability to adapt quickly to new technology, to produce multimedia content that is engaging and optimised for each channel.
• Keeping up-to-date with trends across all major social media platforms and what’s happening in our industry to inform content creation that drives channel growth and engagement.
• Turning complex subject matter into great content, especially in the decarbonisation space as Rio Tinto is on a journey to significantly reduce our carbon emissions.
• Planning, sourcing, writing, editing and creating social media content, including videos.
• Collaborating with the digital and content teams, product groups and functions to produce content and facilitate roll-out on riotinto.com and social media channels.
• Building networks within the business to source leads.
• Identifying opportunities based on research insights and trends.
• Analysing social performance across channels and feeding back insights to continuously improve content.
